Manchester United Announce U.S. Tour Roster

Manchester United announced their roster for their 2015 preseason tour of the United States earlier this week. United will be playing games against Club America, San Jose Earthquakes, Barcelona, and PSG during their time stateside.

Following the official conformations of the signings of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin, the club added them to their roster. Other summer arrivals Memphis Depay and Matteo Darmian are also included.

Midfielder Sean Gross and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone have been called up from the reserves, while Andreas Pereira will be given a chance to show his worth during the tour.

Want away goalkeeper David de Gea was surprisingly included in the final roster and is currently training with the team in Seattle, despite rumors mounting the Spaniard is on the way to Real Madrid after longtime Madrista, Iker Casillas, completed his move to FC Porto earlier in the week.

Argentinian internationals Marcos Rojo and Angel Di Maria have both been omitted from the squad after recently finishing a rigorous run in the Copa America. Major exclusions from the roster include Rafael da Silva and Victor Valdes, who are both slated to follow former United striker Robin van Persie to Turkey by the end of the transfer window.
